摘要Sickle cell disease (SCD) is strongly associated with severe preeclampsia and has also been linked to poor pregnancy-related outcomes. Moreover, sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a common complication of SCD and results in chronic proteinuria. Pregnant patients with SCD who present to the emergency department (ED) with pulmonary edema, hypertension, and proteinuria may suffer from a hypertensive emergency with or without preeclampsia.
